What are the Kik Innovation Awards?

Over the past year we’ve seen an explosion of great bots on Kik, and we want to show them off a little. We know that our developer community is thebest, and we have a Bot Shop full of amazing bots. But we can’t choose a “best bot”, we love them all!
So, we decided to leave it up to you, the community. That’s right – it’s up to you! Starting on November 27, 2017, you can vote for the best bot in each of the below Bot Shop categories:

Fun in Group

Game

Lifestyle

Entertainment

Fashion & Beauty

Meet New People

We’ll also pick a special “user’s choice” bot, based entirely on bot shop ratings.

How do I enter my bot?

As long as your bot is live in the Bot Shop by November 27, 2017 you’re automatically eligible.
Be sure to log in to the Bot Dashboard and update your developer preferences. Include your contact information so we can tell you the great news when your bot wins.

In each category, the bots with the most votes on December 11, 2017 will be crowned “Best Bot” for each category.

How will people vote?

A form will be shared on November 27th from our developer Twitter account, @kikdevs. This form will let you choose your favorite bot in each category. Voting will only be open until December 11th, which is when Kik will choose the winners, at our sole discretion.
